Universal Pictures (our corporate cousins) are interested in putting the franchise in the hands of Justin Lin, who’s directed the last three “Fast & Furious” films for the studio, reported Deadline.

Here's That "Fast Five" Trailer You've Been Dying For

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are back together for "one last job" (isn't that always the way?), but this time they've got to deal with a lawman named Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) leading a special unit to stop them. This is gonna be the fastest and most furious sequel ever! Comes out April 29. (Published Wednesday, May 30, 2012)

But as bad as “T-4” was, it didn’t stop William Wisher, who helped Cameron write the first two films, from writing a treatment for “T-5” and an outline for “T-6.” Whether anyone is interested using them is another question.

One has to wonder how much longer Lin is going to be happy picking up the pieces of other people’s franchises. Since making a name for himself with the “Fast” movies, he’s been attached to the upcoming “Highlander” and now is being mentioned in connection to “T-5.”

“Terminator Salvation” left us in a foul mood, and we’re not sure Arnold is the answer to what ails the franchise, but we’d love for it to regain its lost glory.
